The user is allowed to use any binding whatsoever, os if she wants
"\C-c\C-y" or "\e" or even just "", that's fine by me.  The "reserved
for users" namespace is just there to guarantee that this is something
that will never conflict.

Indeed.  Which is why a "\C-c" default is no worse.

Doesn't seem like an improvement,
